Yes, you mean when typing into the tag fields...

I've never tried to find where this is stored, but a quick glance at  
preference files doesn't turn anything up. There is no setting in  
iTunes that lets you change this; I assume it just takes what's in  
your Library file. Sorry, you'll have to either type, or use the  
AppleScript route to make changes. Doug Adams has hundreds of  
AppleScripts (http://www.dougscripts.com/itunes/) that can change  
things for you, such as capitalizing your song names, etc.
